Rep. John Delaney (D., Md.) announced Friday that he will seek the 2020 Democratic nomination for president of the United States, writing in a Washington Post op-ed that his party needs “a different approach.”
Delaney, a third-term congressman and former health-care financier worth an estimated $90 million, said he will not run for reelection to his House seat in 2018 in order to fully commit to the White House effort.
“The American people are far greater than the sum of our political parties,” he wrote. “It is time for us to rise above our broken politics and renew the spirit that enabled us to achieve the seemingly impossible. This is why I am running for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States.”
